Son of the Olden Days

From the second month of this year's spring, with the return of Sol and the people, the territory of Freedom City gradually became lively.

This kind of excitement does not refer to the superficial noise, but the freshness brought by the arrival of many new faces as the population gradually grows.

Sol's method of attracting people to increase the population is simple and rude. A large number of silver coins and secret scrolls were sent down, so that all the people under Diller's hands were moved, and people who were willing to settle in the city of freedom were convinced through words.

Diller's hands will eventually become the eyes of Freedom City in the future, inquiring into the intelligence of the entire continent for the territory, so it is necessary to adapt to this turbulent pace of life in the continent in advance.

So at a certain intersection on the first floor of the Secret Realm of the Reincarnation Dungeon, a sign was erected that said.

"The city of freedom, the starting point of a new life, the turning point of fate."

These nondescript slogans were the idea of ​​James among the five people responsible for pulling people.

James was originally just a young farmer of Ash Stump. He was still smart, and he had no relatives since his mother died of illness. Growing up on the relief provided in the village, for many years he has been living a life of hunger for one person and the whole family.

When he was a child, he also imagined that he would become a dragon-slaying warrior, a hero of the mainland, and even change the world. But in fact, he has been waving a pitchfork, gathering hay in the village, and offering it to livestock or villagers to repair the roof, year after year.

After seeing the gap between dreams and reality, James gradually didn't even bother to dream.

Until one day the ash stumps were mopped up, the villagers were all driven to a small place and became the leaders of someone.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a mopping up, because the methods used by the people are quite mild, but they are just threatening that everyone will usher in a new life.

As a rare wise man in the village, James himself did not believe this. After arriving at the small settlement that didn't even have a name, James was more certain that he had a new life with a fart.

For the new lord, James was not convinced. There is no specific reason, just because they are young people of the same age, so why are you the lord, and I can only wield a pitchfork to live in confusion.

But gradually, James found that his life had changed. Although he was still waving a pitchfork, and what he did seemed to be the same as before, life was different.

For example, he can use his own labor to obtain a new thing called meritorious service in his territory, so that he can put on more decent new clothes. Or have a drink after work, although the ale is just a common taste.

It is difficult to tell where these changes started.

It seems to be from the newly built building every day, from the newly built dirt road under the feet. Or from the smiling faces of himself and the people around him, to be honest, James hadn't seen the villagers smile like that in many years.

In the past, everyone was numb and repeated, day after day and year after year.

James should have been one of them, but gradually he discovered that he can now occasionally stop after hard work, look up, or smile with the people around him.

It seems that every day, the life in the territory is changing. This kind of change is impossible to talk about, but it is everywhere.

James originally didn't like the meritorious system. Although he didn't have much knowledge, he also went to Kennerzir Territory with the village's trade team three or four times a year. He knows that in the outside world, ‘coins’ are truly valuable.

Although it is more cost-effective to buy things in the territory with feats, James believes that this is just because the lord does not want to give money.

It wasn't until one day that the lord named Thor said a word on the stage that he really woke up James.

"Nothing is taken for granted in this world. Even if I do not come, you still have to survive and face everything you have to face now. But I have come and gave you a more stable and orderly life. I only hope that I The giving is worth it."

This is not profound, but it still caused James to reflect deeply.

Yeah, why do I take many things for granted?

Why do I think that the lord should be like this or not? Why do I think that these newly built houses and these roads are built for the lord? Obviously I am living and walking.

That night, James shrank in his blanket and cried. He felt that the boy who dreamed of slaying the dragon had died many years ago.

What have I done for my barren life? Have you worked hard? Have you ever fought?

From that day on, James finally got rid of the shackles of his original farmer status, began to work hard to accept and learn some new things, and tried to live more actively and enthusiastically.

Recently, the lord opened the two-way exchange of merits and coins in the territory. By this time, James was not in a hurry to exchange money. Because he instinctively feels that his merits seem to be more valuable. This is a change of vision brought about by a change in his attitude towards life.

As a healthy young man, James became the first member of the Scarlet Cross.

He actually didn't want to join the Scarlet Cross, although it looked very beautiful, and he also knew that those people were likely to become a more prominent group of people in the territory in the future.

But James just felt that it was not suitable for him. It was not because he was afraid of fighting and death. He just felt that his ingenuity could not be fully utilized in fighting monsters.

Just when James was weighing his head, he was selected by the halfling captain named Diller and joined a temporarily unnamed department. It is said that the basis for the selection is because I usually give the people around me a clever impression.

This department is said to be dealing with intelligence matters in the future, which is a bit beyond James’s cognition and vision.

But the first thing or task arranged by this department was very appetizing for James.

After feeling the magic and convenience of the secret door, James began to wander alone in various places in the mainland, persuading some local people to pass through the secret door and settle in the former city of freedom.

Before the start of this mission, Lord Thor had given a brief training to five of his own.

"I wandered all the way from the southern border. I have seen too many people struggling in hunger and poverty during this journey. This is the current situation in the mainland, so I have never worried about the population problem. I believe this is also your process of pulling people. Excellent entry point."

The words of the lord are still in my ears, and the lord's honor to meet the five people alone has also made the five people in the team full of enthusiasm.

So the five people acted frantically. James alone has brought three farmers, a miller and a carpenter in the past few days, and James has also received a reward from these populations.

Lord Sol’s reward method is very straightforward. You can choose any of coins and combat merits.

What surprised James was that the other four people, like him, all chose combat merits and no one chose coins. This shattered the small abacus in James' heart, and the five people began to be full of a strong atmosphere of competition.

James' original plan was to become the captain of this five-man team after accumulating meritorious services. Because the combat merit system is very clear, as long as your personal merits accumulate to a certain amount, you can make a promotion request to the military.

Now it seems that smart people are not the only one themselves, and they have to speed up their pace.

The lord has detailed requirements and rewards for recruiting people. Pulling a single settler rewards one silver coin, and pulling a household of settlers will reward two silver coins per person according to the number of heads of the household, and if it is pulled to a production household, this The reward will be doubled.

In addition, if you attract merchants who are willing to come to the territory to trade, there are also related rewards.

Later, James had an idea, and a sign was erected at the intersection on the first floor of the Secret Realm.

"The city of freedom, the starting point of a new life, the turning point of fate."

This brand is for mobilizing adventurers who pass by. Whether they are willing to settle down, or return to their respective towns to bring settlers to earn a sum of money, James is very welcome, and he will divide his rewards in half with each other. .

At first, the other guys who pulled people were a bit disdainful, but watching many adventurers follow the signs to inquire, and sometimes even James didn't need to run, and there were adventurers who brought people over.

The other guys finally couldn't sit still, and ran to other intersections on the first floor of the dungeon and put up signs.

And as the five people ran day and night, many greater changes took place in the territory.

With the population in place, the originally semi-stagnation stone ore mining sites are in full swing again, and more regular stone roads are also quietly spreading. In addition, stone houses are also rising one after another, but these are not the most important ones. of.

Blacksmith shops, mills, watch shops, and garment shops have also opened their doors.

And the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge bazaar in the territory, which effectively diverts the pressure of the material distribution point.

Although there are only a few small stalls in the market at present, selling some personal handicrafts, or special snacks, but it is enough to predict the future scale of the entire market.

Every day when James wakes up, he can see the changes in the territory, or discover some new things. Whenever he thinks that these changes are created by his own hands, James always feels full of participation and sense of accomplishment.

And recently James also has a new goal, which is a precision gadget called a clock produced by a goblin in the watch shop.

It is said that because the clocks and watches consume extremely complicated processes, and the lord intends to turn the clock into a luxury special product of the domain, the price of each of those gadgets that exudes the beauty of metal is very expensive.

The individual price of the watch is one longan gemstone, or two magic crystals, sixty golden eagles, nine hundred silver wolves, or ninety thousand copper shields.

It’s not that there are no magic hourglasses that are used daily for timekeeping in the territory. Each hourglass only costs 20 silver coins. That was originally James' original goal, but with the change of vision, James now feels that the magic hourglass is meaningless and can't make it to the table.

For example, when going out to pull people, in other territories or towns, in front of the person to be persuaded, it would be a decent thing to inadvertently take out a clock and watch. The decent reason is only that I have you or not.

It is a pity that the price of a longan is far from what he can currently afford, but James is not discouraged. He thinks the goal of clocks is necessary. With new goals, James feels that he is full of morale every day and lives more passionately. He hates having to sleep and throws himself into things.

In the process of pulling people, it was not that James had never been to a big city, and he had even set foot in the main cities of several major forces on this continent. After the initial shock, James is now at peace.

The prosperity is indeed very attractive, but James firmly believes that the future territory may not be worse than those big cities, and more importantly, he knows where he needs himself more and can better reflect his value.
